Performance Data

At the end of Key Stage 2, children sit a test in Reading, SPaG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) and Maths. Children are assessed by their class teacher in Writing.

Children in Year 6 took part in the new testing and assessment arrangements. Pupils’ knowledge and understanding of the new curriculum was assessed. This curriculum provides greater challenge with higher expectations set for the end of KS2.

The results of the SATs (tests) are reported using a scaled score, where a score of 100 represents the expected standard. The highest possible score is 120 and the lowest is 80.

Children are awarded one of the following Teacher Assessment judgements in writing:

Expected Standard – Working at the expected standard for their age

Greater Depth – Working at greater depth within the expected standard and has a strong understanding of the curriculum

Year 6 pupils were assessed in reading, writing, grammar, punctuation and spelling (SPAG) and maths. For further information, please see the Information for parents KS2 leaflet from the Standards and Testing Agency.

KS2 PROGRESS MEASURES

Department for education calculate progress measures using a value-added measure from KS1 to KS2. This value added measure is worked out from the progress made since KS1.

Easington Colliery’s Progress Measures are:

Reading

+2.75

Writing

-1.78

Maths

+2.10

Interpreting Progress Scores

A score of 0 means on average children do about as well at KS2 as those with similar prior attainment nationally. A positive score means on average children do better. A negative score means on average children are not doing so well.

Key Stage One

This is the first year of the new testing and assessment arrangements for Year 2. These arrangements reflect the more challenging national curriculum which was introduced in 2014. Therefore, results cannot be compared with previous years. For more information please see the leaflet Information for parents from the Standards and Testing Agency.

At the end of KS1 (Yr2), teachers are required to assess each child in the areas of reading, writing and maths. National Curriculum assessment tests are used to support teachers’ judgements.

Easington Colliery’s performance was above the national average in every subject.

Department for Education

Many Parents are keen to see how we are performing in relation to other schools.

The Department for Education (Dfe) Performance Tables provide a reliable and accessible source of comparative information on pupil attainment and progress, absence, workforce and finance. The Performance Tables include percentages of achievement to Level 4 and Level 5 or above in reading, writing and maths and the percentage of expected progress in each subject.
